Our brains have probably been re-wired with every technological advancement in human history. The accomplishments have not all been ‘bad’, nor has the rewiring been. But all of it definitely comes with effects that we need to be aware of and for which we sometimes need to compensate.

There are some interesting books written about this:

I, for one, have definitely seen a decrease in my ability to sit down with a print book and attend to it as I used to do.
I have to be aware of this and compensate for it all the time.

I still gladly use printed books for technical matter. They are usually far more complete and better written than web resources.
